CARE OF THE IRON

Figure H

EMPTYING THE IRON

Turn the Temperature Selector Dial to the Indicator Mark for O/Fill, set the Adjustable Steam Dial to the Indicator Mark for the Dry position, and unplug the iron. Empty the water by holding the iron over a sink with the tip pointing downward (Figure H). Water will empty out the Water Fill Hole.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE SURFACES

Allow the iron to cool completely. Wipe the outer shell and SilverStone Soleplate finish with a cloth dampened in water and a mild household detergent. Never use abrasive, heavy-duty cleansers or scouring pads. After cleaning, steam iron on an old, cotton terry cloth towel for approximately 2 minutes.

SELF CLEANING

About once a month use the Self Clean feature to flush out water, minerals, and lint. If lint is allowed to accumulate in the vents, it can scorch and cause troublesome brown spotting. Do not be alarmed if hissing and spitting occurs while self cleaning. This is normal.

With the Water Tank filled to the Self Clean Level and the iron sitting on its heel rest, turn the Temperature Selector to the highest temperature setting and push the PUSH ON Button. The Steam/Dry Dial can be in either position. Turn the Temperature Selector to O/Fill and unplug the iron.
